Chapter 426: Special Ability Division vs Xu Zhiyu

Xu Zhiyu sat in the abandoned Xu Family Pharmaceutical Group building, which once accommodated nearly a thousand people working.

But after Xu Zhiyu took control of the conglomerate, he directly abandoned all operations, converted most assets into cash, and prior to this, initiated a business deal with the 【End Empire】.

Xu Zhiyu leaned back on the sofa; in the empty chairman's office, only the sofa he sat on and the cabinet against the wall remained.

Xu Zhiyu slammed the baseball in his hand against the cabinet again and again, then caught it as it bounced back.

He was waiting for a message, a reply from the 【End Empire】.

Slap!

The cabinet, having been struck by the baseball too many times, suddenly split open, and two corpses in suits and leather shoes tumbled out from within.

These two corpses were already full of worms, and the stench of rot assailed the nostrils.

"Tsk, can't you even stand properly after you're dead..."

Xu Zhiyu stood up and hoisted the two corpses up again; a scarlet light on his right hand, like a giant python, forcibly bound the two corpses to stand upright.

These two people were his father and younger brother, formerly the chairman and executive director of Xu Family Pharmaceutical Group.

Xu Zhiyu gently brushed the worms off his father's and brother's faces, tidied the hair of the two corpses, and then sat back down.

"People don't have to be talented, but they must learn how to pick a side, Father, Brother..."

"I clearly told you that the future era would become like this and asked you to assist me in becoming the King of Korea, yet you said I was crazy. Sigh, I get sad too."

The woman standing outside the door saw this scene and kept her head down, not daring to enter.

Che Zixi felt more and more that Xu Zhiyu was likely completely insane.

No normal person would manipulate and play with the corpses of their own father and brother like this.

"Come in."

Che Zixi shuddered, but still pushed the door open and walked in. The stench of rot hit her nasal cavity directly, and she immediately wanted to vomit.

Whoosh, plop plop!

Xu Zhiyu appeared behind Che Zixi in an instant, two bursts of Force piercing through Che Zixi's skull.

The next moment, Che Zixi discovered she could no longer smell that stench; she sniffed, then realized she had lost her sense of smell.

"Rest assured, Ms. Che, I have only temporarily taken away your sense of smell. Let's first talk about the matter I tasked you to investigate."

When Xu Zhiyu was not acting crazy, he was quite refined and elegant; Che Zixi once thought the other party was that kind of true noble scion of a conglomerate.

However, she was now deeply mired in the various affairs of the 【Yixin Society】, and her true identity and home address were known to Xu Zhiyu, leaving her no chance to break away from him.

"Yes, Chairman. It is true that a Reincarnator squad has been secretly formed within the Blue House. This department is hidden inside other departments. I haven't found its specific location yet, but I can roughly confirm that the scale is not large, the number of Reincarnators should be around 10, and there are no traces of any Title-level Reincarnator."

"Additionally, Lixianhou of the March Conglomerate previously discussed this matter with the President, but was rejected by the President. It can be presumed that this department does not belong to the March Conglomerate; at the same time, there is a possibility that the March Conglomerate is also forming its own Reincarnator force."

Slap!

Xu Zhiyu suddenly threw the baseball with force, smashing his father's corpse's head to pieces.

"Look, Father, you just aren't as good as Lixianhou."

Che Zixi kept her head down, pretending not to see this scene, and continued to analyze other Intelligence.

"Ms. Li Qingzi of the March Conglomerate, whom you ordered us to monitor, previously went to the Southeast Asia region and has now returned to the country. Some say she brought back a man."

Subsequently, Che Zixi took out a tablet, which contained only a very blurry portrait; the man in the portrait had a terrifying, massive phantom behind him.

Xu Zhiyu took the portrait and tapped it lightly.

Beep beep, beep beep.

His phone rang. He answered the call, and a low male voice came from inside.

"His Excellency says to abandon the plan to seize Korea and head directly to the teleportation point; we will meet you to bring you into the Empire."

Xu Zhiyu's tapping hand froze. He frowned, and his voice turned cold.

"I remember we had already reached an agreement."

The man on the other end of the phone did not accept Xu Zhiyu's threat and explained simply:

"We have our own Intelligence channels. Simply put, Tao Baibai has already landed in Korea. Upholding the principle of avoiding the loss of high-ranking Reincarnators, we believe that seizing Korea is no longer cost-effective, so we are abandoning it. That is all."

Whether in terms of population or resources, Korea could not be considered particularly rich, and the only economy worth mentioning was not an irreplaceable resource in the current situation.

And Tao Baibai had now been proven to possess the strength to kill high-ranking Reincarnators like 【Millennium Worm】 and 【Sage】 head-on, and had even successfully returned from a world where even the strongest had gone missing.

It was not worth becoming enemies with Tao Baibai for the sake of Korea.

Xu Zhiyu frowned. He felt that he had only been away from the Infinite Dimensional Space for a few days, so why was he starting to not understand what these people were saying?

Tao Baibai landed in Korea, so what?

Tao Baibai was merely a newly promoted Fierce Person; guys like this appeared in the Space almost every few missions. Some rose and some died; this was nothing.

Beep beep beep.

The call had been hung up. The End Empire had obtained the human resources it wanted, and its attitude toward Xu Zhiyu had also become much colder.

Xu Zhiyu raised the baseball, making a gesture to continue smashing his brother's corpse.

Che Zixi spoke up immediately:

"Chairman, Tao Baibai survived the B711 Secondary World anomaly that just ended. Now many speculate that he possesses 【Fierce】-tier combat power. The Empire just lost 【Tang Sanzang】, so they likely do not wish to become enemies with Tao Baibai."

Xu Zhiyu frowned. He flashed his figure and returned to the Space. Because of the difference in time flow, he appeared before Che Zixi again just after disappearing.

But he had already purchased a quite detailed piece of Intelligence from the Space.

"Moon Demon, Tao Baibai..."

Xu Zhiyu knew very well that Li Qingzi was the Moon Demon, and therefore knew that the man Li Qingzi brought to Korea was Tao Baibai. He just hadn't expected that after one mission world,

Tao Baibai, whom he hadn't even taken seriously before, had already become a "high-ranking Reincarnator" who could make the End Empire back down because of his name.

Beep beep, beep beep.

His phone rang again. He glanced at the incoming number, which clearly displayed the name 【Li Qingzi】.

After answering, Xu Zhiyu did not speak, but a light chuckle came from the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Xu Zhiyu, I am still thinking about that Treasure Map; I hope you haven't traded it away."

There was undisguised Greed Sin in that voice.

Xu Zhiyu stood up and walked to the window; as expected, he saw that the street below the building was deserted, though he did not know when it had become so.

"It seems Mr. Tao Baibai really wants that Treasure Map..."

Click.

A barely audible sound of a bolt being pulled back rang out; Xu Zhiyu pressed one hand onto Che Zixi's head, and then the world seemed to come to a standstill in his eyes.

A large-caliber bullet shot through the wall, flying toward him from within his nearly frozen world; through the bullet hole left in the wall, he clearly saw several figures wearing black leather clothes appearing inside the building.

Bang!

"Careful, it missed!"

The sniping woman looked at the figure in the thermal sniper scope from which no blood was flowing and immediately issued a warning.

The next moment, the burly man standing at the very front roared, his body size instantly increased, and he smashed through the wall and lunged at Xu Zhiyu.

This was the first operation of their Korea Special Investigation Division, and it absolutely could not fail.

Swish.

The woman with the codename Qingying suddenly saw that the target's trail had been lost in the thermal imaging; she raised her head to warn her teammates, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't make a sound at all.

Puchi!

Fresh blood gushed out from her neck, and a large amount of air rushed into her chest; the woman clutched her neck and turned her head, only to see Xu Zhiyu, wearing a blue suit, already appearing behind her, and what had slashed her neck... was the other party's fingernail...

Thump.

Amidst the sound of Qingying falling to the ground, the few people who had charged into the chairman's office ahead realized what had happened; they turned back, only to see their teammate already lying in a pool of blood.

Xu Zhiyu's eyelids drooped, holding his phone to his ear, and a cruel arc curled at the corners of his mouth.

"Tao Baibai, this is somewhat interesting..."

The world almost froze in his eyes once again; he took a step forward and appeared behind these few people in black, and lines of blood appeared on their necks one after another.

Tao Baibai's voice also came through the phone at this moment.

"Keep it up, Mr. Xu; slaughter your President's Special Investigation Division. I will finish the business here and come find you."

"Ah!"

The successive screams on the phone made it very clear that Tao Baibai was also carrying out some kind of plan.

Xu Zhiyu was quick-witted and realized in an instant that the other party was using him.

But with the help of the March Conglomerate, he was likely already powerless to turn the situation around.

Roar!

A whistling sound erupted from the ground floor, and the next moment, a giant white tiger came sprinting directly along the exterior facade of the building, stepping on the walls.
